Bruins @ Leafs - Apr. 19th, 7:00pm - CBC, TSN 1050

[Zee]

Great to see the win on Monday but the Leafs still need to tighten up. They were scrambling I thought at times and on the PK they have to do a better job on Pastarnak. He should of had 2 goals for sure. If they can do that I think they win. Let's do it boys.

The PK is a huge concern.  Leafs only had to kill one PK last game (an unofficial PK happened late in the game when it was 4 on 4 but Boston pulled Rask to go 5 on 4).  If Boston gets 3-4 PP tonight, I can easily see 2 goals on it unless the Leafs improve.  Boston has WAY too many chances on the PP, they move the puck around so effortlessly.  Leafs need to somehow improve their PK and Andersen has to play like he did in Nov-December.

On another note, I managed to grab some free tickets to the game tonight.

I believe the Leafs have lost the last 5 or 6 games I attended. I'm going to commit the gambler's fallacy and assume that means they're due for a win.

They lose tonight and it's all on you.

If they lose, I think that will constitute definitive proof that my beer stained Antropov jersey is bad luck.

My lucky Canadian Tire jersey will cancel yours out, leaving them to win or lose entirely on their own merits.

Leafs lost both games 1 and 2 when I wore my Matthews jersey.  Last game I was so tired and sweaty from clearing ice on my driveway that I didn't put on the jersey cause I didn't want to stink it up with my sweat, so I was wearing a green sweater.  I'll go back to the green sweater for tonight, then the Leafs won't have to rely on their own merits but instead have the power of the sweater backing them.

I have a hunch tonight's game will very chippy. Two missions: Use blazing speed, don't back down to B's physical intimidation.

I think Kapanen is due for a goal.  He's had a few chances this series and keeps getting unlucky with posts.

GO LEAFS GO!

Just win!

Yep, my Babsocks didn't work when they were in Boston.

Sounds like everyone is holding their breath today.

Go Leafs Go!!

I?m pacing around the house waiting for the game to start... haven?t felt this tension for a game in a while.

 

[WAYNEINIONA]

There's no problem tonight. The boys have it all under control. At least that's what I keep telling myself.

 

[princedpw]

I agree on the PK. They should add Reilly and Gardiner to the players on the PK.  Reduce Polak and Hainsey?s minutes there.  Reilly and Gardiner can take more minutes overall.

 

[mr grieves]

No Bergeron...?

 

[Captain Canuck]

Patrice Bergeron is out for the Bruins tonight with an upper body injury.

 

[herman]

Oh.

Nice!

 

[herman]

Bergeron is the type of player who has played through a punctured lung before, and they had the extra days off due to the schedule. He definitely will come back for game 5 in Boston (at sub-100%), and hopefully we make these next few games really count.

 

[louisstamos]

Can't take them lightly without Bergeron, though.  I'm pretty sure he missed a chunk of this season, and they still had a winning record with him.

 

[TheMightyOdin]

Take it to them boys!

Go Leafs Go!

No more braces on Martina! We got this!!

She sent them to Rancourt.

That was a Bergeron decoy. He's actually dead. No other explanation for why he wouldn't play.

If our Leafs lose tonight... Fuck you!  LOL
